I was experiencing the same PAGE_FAULT error while reinstalling xp (due to intermittent
resets). I narrowed it down to the internal cache on the CPU (AMD Athlon 1700). I
disabled the internal cache in BIOS and was able to complete the xp setup (it took
a long time though). After the setup was complete I installed a salvaged Athlon 700
and it runs as great as a 700Mhz CPU will. I wrote AMD yesterday and am waiting (not
holding my breath) for a response.
